ASHWAUBENON, Wis. - After an off day, the Rockers will play in the I-41 showdown at Neuroscience Group Field in Appleton against the Fond Du Lac. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 pm.
In the Rocker's last game against Royal Oak, the team put together a late surge. Payton Mansfield (Jacksonville State) singled to center field to drive in the Rockers first two runs. Jake Bold (Princeton) and Seth Farni (Ole Miss) continued the hot streak in the seventh and eighth bringing Green Bay within two. But the Rockers couldn't rally any more than that, and the game finished 8-5 in favor of the Leprechauns
Mikel Howell (Southern Arkansas) will start for Green Bay against the Dock Spiders. He's thrown 15.1 innings so far in three starts for the team, with 11 strikeouts to just six walks.
